Chapter 688: Laughing to death, the car hit the wall, do you know you turned a corner? It's too

After hearing Chang Haonan's thoughts, Ding Gaoheng did not directly express his position, but just nodded:

"The implementation and announcement of monetary and financial policies must be handled by specialized agencies. I will mention it specifically when I go to the emergency response meeting the day after tomorrow."

In fact, the current situation made Chang Haonan feel a little numb.

In the previous life, Operation Allied also naturally caused the euro's exchange rate to fall.

But a fall is a fall, and it doesn’t mean it has fallen like it is now.

The reasons mentioned by Huai Guomo just now are all correct, but it is impossible to achieve such outrageous effects just by the explosion of European powder keg and the superimposed refugee crisis——

Even if you tell the truth, the trouble occurred in the Balkans, not Brittany.

10% for three days.

Those who didn't know better thought that the Germans had pulled three more armies to penetrate the Benelux and go straight to Paris.

Therefore, in addition to these obvious reasons, there must be invisible hands behind the scenes.

As for who the culprit is...

Damn it, no need to guess.

In this life, under the instigation of Chang Haonan, the performance of the EU in recent years has been much faster than in the original timeline, and the Americans want to beat Europe, especially to protect the absolute dominance of the US dollar in the world. , the intensity used must also be much higher.

Therefore, he said that there was no need to rush to take action, but the degree still needed to be grasped by professionals.

Theoretically, the best thing is to be able to act as the savior just before Europe can no longer hold on.

But the closer you get to the limit, the higher the risk.

After all, judging from the experience of later generations, it is difficult for these Europeans to be called hard-core at their core.

If they really vote, then the clown will be on his side...

Thinking of this, he quickly said:

"Director Ding, I'm worried that if the currency management department directly makes a statement that is not conducive to the euro, or even just does not support the euro, I am afraid it will be the last barbell that breaks the camel's back..."

This peculiar description made several other people laugh.

"Then Xiao Chang, what do you mean..."

"After seeking permission from our superiors, we, those of us who have business dealings with Europe on the front line, will first try it out. For example, we can set up some obstacles to the euros during the payment process, but we don't directly reject the euros, and give the other side a kind of aloofness. Feel……"

Chang Haonan was still thinking about how to describe it, but Ding Gaoheng directly made it clear:

"I understand, it's just like the methods used by the Kingdom of David against us on the Ring Project, right?"

As expected of an academician, his ability to draw inferences from one example is high.

"Yes."

Chang Haonan nodded decisively.

Ding Gaoheng opened his small notebook to take notes and said:

"I can't tell, Xiao Chang, do you still have the talent in this area?"

"Just tell me what you think. For such a big matter, the final decision must be made by your superiors..."

He hadn't realized it before. After being mentioned like this by Ding Gaoheng, Chang Haonan also found that he could think about such issues much more smoothly than when he was just reborn.

In fact, if we really want to talk about financial knowledge, it is just that he has experienced the era of information explosion more than 20 years later, and he has understood it more or less. After his rebirth, he has not studied it specifically. Even if he has made progress due to a lot of practice, he should still Has not changed much.

If I have to say it, it was probably during this period of time that I was doing projects, and I have already raised my system management level to LV3.

Among the three current projects, only the engineering experience is still stuck at LV2. Depending on the progress, when the die forging press or turbofan 10 project is completed, the entire system level can be upgraded to 3.

At that time, you should be able to consider sprinting to higher technologies.

……

The next few days flew by again.

Operation Allied Forces entered its second phase on March 3.

The attackers gradually realized that simple air strikes pose little threat to well-concealed and freely maneuverable military targets, but they did not want to send ground troops to grind meat, so they gradually shifted the focus of their attacks to the infrastructure necessary to maintain the city's operations. .

Chang Haonan was really anxious about this. After all, as someone who had experienced it, he knew that this was the real killing move.

But on the other hand, everything that can be done has indeed been done, and the rest can only be done according to fate.

Fortunately, the plan submitted by Ding Gaoheng was successfully passed. Although it has obviously been revised a few times, the core idea is still similar to Chang Haonan's original idea.

So, as soon as he received the news, he asked Song Jingming to close the account details page of the official website [Euro Payment].

Of course the connection on the surface is still there, but I just can’t click on it.

For orders placed over the phone, various reasons are used to evade the payment in euros.

As for those who have already signed a contract, if they signed a euro contract before, there is nothing they can do, but most of them still choose one of euro/dollar or euro/local currency. In this case, they also start negotiating with the other party to choose the other one. Payment method...

For a moment, Chang Haonan regretted not adding enough places to the office and legal department...

While China is busy in full swing, almost no one in Europe is paying attention to military matters.

Brussels, Berlaymont Building.

Three middle-aged men in suits but with worried faces were sitting around a round table in a confidential conference room.

"Boy, this morning, the exchange rate of the euro against the U.S. dollar has reached 1:1.0290."

The first person to speak was German Finance Minister Wolfgang Schäuble:

"After we have invested almost all policy tools and more than one-fifth of our reserves, although the rate of exchange rate decline has slowed down, if it continues like this, it may..."

He hesitated for a moment when he said this, and glanced at the two colleagues in front of him:

"It may be necessary to use precious metal reserves..."

Theoretically, the most immediate way to protect the exchange rate is to directly restrict foreign exchange transactions and then force official settlement of foreign exchange.

However, the EU was born to lower trade barriers from its mother's womb. If you now implement high-intensity foreign exchange controls, it will really become a self-defeating alliance...

French Finance Minister Dominique Strauss-Kahn had a lot of resentment on his face from the beginning. At this time, he directly tapped the table with his fingers, making two crisp sounds:

"I have long said that the Allied Forces Operation was a trap dug by the Americans and would do no good to us. At that time, everyone had their own agenda and did not follow my stance. As a result, less than a hundred days after the euro was issued, the exchange rate fell. Almost 15%... Now they know they are anxious? "

Kahn has been a loyal supporter of the European single currency for many years.

When the euro was issued, he made a classic remark in the face of concerns and doubts within the Eurozone countries that would lead to the loss of monetary rights.

"Nothing has been lost. After the war, the monetary power of Europe has always been in the hands of the United States. After the advent of the euro, we will work with our European partners to regain monetary sovereignty."

Such a main promoter of the euro issuance is naturally quite dissatisfied with the current situation.

"It's useless to say this now."

Italian Finance Minister Vincenzo Vesco, who was sitting next to him, patted Kahn on the shoulder and interrupted his complaint:

"The focus now is to think about how to restore the situation, and the action must be fast enough."

"We lacked sufficient preparations before and did not have enough ammunition in our hands. If the flow of water continues as it is now, it can almost be said to be a slow death."

Yes, this was a closed-door meeting held by the finance ministers of Germany, France and Italy.

The rule of holding small meetings for big things also applies abroad.

Anyone with a discerning eye knows that with the EU's rules, which require the consent of all member states, no decision can be made at a critical moment like now.

So if something really big happens, the heads of the core countries should get together and have a meeting to get it done.

For the most part, this core includes only Germany and France.

But today, maybe it was to make up an odd number, or maybe it was because Italy had a relatively close relationship with a certain big country in the East.

In short, Vesco was invited here.

And his meaning is very clear——

Now this is no longer an ordinary exchange rate slide.

It's not an exaggeration to say that it exploded on the spot and spiraled into the sky.

That is to say, several old European countries have a strong foundation and a long health bar, and the country is still implementing a dual currency system, so they can still withstand it.

If we put it in emerging markets like Southeast Asia, this kind of decline is basically equivalent to a precursor to economic collapse.

Moreover, even the older generation of powers like them, with their old money, cannot resist in the long run.

Gotta hit hard!
